Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q3 i? After FDR correction across a cognitive test battery, only the number-noun pairs episodic memory measure showed a significant Group × Session interaction, with improvement persisting at follow-up. → Yafeng Pan 2023

q3 · i? · causal · r1
A series of Group × Session ANOVAs on a cognitive test battery spanning perceptual speed, inhibitory control, working memory, short-term and episodic memory, reasoning, spatial imagination and divided attention, with FDR correction, found "a signi ficant interaction effect on the number-noun pairs measure"; "No other signi ficant interaction effects were observed."
"After applying false-discovery-rate (FDR) corrections to all resulting p values, we observed a signi ficant interaction effect on the number-noun pairs measure, suggesting that the MT group"
